"It is a busy day up here," Nichols said. "We're having some record-breaking days because of the snow."

Nichols said the ski school also has experienced a higher than usual number of students enrolled in lessons due to improved instructors and the larger number of new skiers.

"We had 107 kids in our adventure center," he said. "They all had a lot of fun and a good skiing experience."
